Printing Invoices using T VF03

Former Member — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 15:40:26 GMT

I am trying to print invoices using Vf03. I can print most of the invoices (or the numbers that they gave me) but two.

When I enter the number for one of those two and tell it to print from the menu it says on the bottom "output could not be issues"

And if I double click on the error message, it opens up an window saying what might have cuassed the error, but not in detail.

This is what it says

"Output could not be issued

Message no. VF304

Diagnosis

An error occurred while output was being issued. It is possible, for example, that the form to be issued has not been activated or has an error. An error may also have arisen while the data to be issued was being edited.

Procedure

Check possible causes of the problem.

Now it prints othe invoices but these two. These are old invoices and needed to be reprinted.

Please help

HI,

Please check the text elements in the smartform.

I mean there will be no error in the form but there may be some problems in the text elements. That too it will be while printing

For eg: if there are three text elements but you have only 2 Boxes to print it ( take it in Main window )

So if for some instances if all the three text elements are getting printed, then it will definitely give you an error like Output cannot be issued.

So you need to confirm these kind of errors also in the form. This will come into picture depending on the data what you are printing in the form.

So please check the othe data which is getting printed with the data which is not getting printed.

When ever " Output not issued ", Please check the text elements mostly. This means it is not finding proper place to print the data.

Some times in a row there will 2 columns. IF you pass 3 rows, then it will be definitely an error.

This is what i faced in 4.6 C Version.

Mostly In higer versions you can have the line and column number in the Text elements when you put them in Templates.

Regards,

Venkatesh

Hello,

Go to VF03, enter the document number and enter.

Goto -> Header -> Output

Select the line you're trying to print (if it's all blank lines you need to fill in the values)

Select Processing log

This may give you some hints on what's going wrong

You may have orphaned logic where your print program is calling elements that no longer exist in the sapscript.

Thanks

There should be a 'Processing log' button on the tool bar about the Output table. Select the red status line in the Output table and then processing log.

ok it says as follows

Green Square: Object 0090195964

Green Square: Output type: Invoice

Green Square: Processing log for Program ZVADIN01 routine ENTRY

RED Circle: Error during reading SADR (Return code 4)

RED Circle: Maintain arching parameter(s) for output type RD00(appl. v3)

Thats it.

It doesn't make any sense to me. may it will to some of you.

Please help

RED Circle: Error during reading SADR (Return code 4)

SADR is the structure for address info. Look into the addresses printed on the form, one's either missing or has something wrong with it.

RED Circle: Maintain arching parameter(s) for output type RD00(appl. v3)

arching? Not sure about this, has this document been archived?

This document may be looking for an address for a partner that no longer exists in your system.

In VF03 Goto -> Header -> Header partners

Double-click on the partner numbers in the table and see whether they all have addresses. If one's missing you have a problem. Either get it restore from archive (I don't know how that's done) or manually recreated.

Place a break point at the function open_form in the driver program. Fo an F6, check the subrc, the subrc number will tell u the exact problem.

I am very new to this. can you tell me how to put the break in detail.

Thanks

Also I have checked the header partner and there r three records and all three of them have the same name and address.

If you don't know how to set a breakpoint you probably won't be able to use one to solve this problem.

Let's go back to the output screen. VF03, Goto -> Header -> Output

What are the Medium, Function, Partner, and Date/Time (# between 1 & 4)?

Re: Printing Invoices using T VF03

Former Member — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 14:11:40 GMT

Medium: Print output

Function (Couldn't find Function but found PartFunct.): BP

Partner: 113491

Date/Time: 4 (# between 1 & 4)?

BTW I do know how to set Break points but not sure where to put it in this case. I know the running program is called SAPDV70A.

If you can tell me what line number i should put the break i can try. Also How do i run the program from SE38? or using the T VF03?

Your output settings look normal....

The program you want to debug is the print program RVADIN01 (unless you have a custom print program). I'd start with a breakpoint in the form PROCESSING and see if any of the performs return <> 0.

You can confirm your print program by going to transaction NACE, select V3, Output types, RD00, processing routines.

you are right the program is called RVADIN01. But after i put the break from where should i run the program? from Transaction VF03 or SE38->F8?

I have added max 30 break point from the start of the program but when i do VF03->print. it doesn't stop. Am I doing something worng?

BTW I can print preview the Invoices but can't print them!!!

If i do a list display from print preview->goto then it prints but only the TEXT with no image.

Hi Anwar

When you issue output from vf03 u get proposed o/p tyes right? (4 character id's). Copy them and paste in table tnapr, give application as billing, i think its v3, and kschl as ur o/p type. U will get the names of the form and the driver program and a routine. (an abap subroutine). Go to the driver program, search for that subroutine, wen u dig into the subroutine u will find an open_form somewhere fairly at the begining of the code. Place ur bp there and do a f6, notice the subrc and let me know ur findings.

Sameer Bro

What do you mean by

"When you issue output from vf03 u get proposed o/p tyes right? (4 character id's)."

Normally i put the number and I clcik on billing documents from the top menu and select print. Then a box shows up with the title Output output

Are you talk about that? or I am missing something?

Re: Printing Invoices using T VF03

Former Member — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 21:54:32 GMT

yes iam talking about the same thing. do u see a coloumn called message type? they are referred to output types as well. Its important to have an understanding of the concept of o/p types if u work with layout sets a lot. help.sap.com have coverd this in length, I suggest you must read it once.

From the earlier messages the o/p type (message type) was RD00.

It's very odd that you can do a print preview but not actually print. Have you checked the 'Print Options' in the Output window to be sure it's going to a valid printer? The original message may have been sent to a printer that no longer exists.

For the breakpoint go to RVADIN01, search for OPEN_FORM and place the breakpoint there. If you still don't trigger it when doing a print preview RVADIN01 isn't the print routine. Note, if you have VF03 already open in another window it may not register the breakpoint, completely leave VF03 and try again.
